it is not that any of us can imagine better, but can all of us do better? and that is a relevant question. when you looked out and see the fragility and inequality of the economy, the direction of foreign policy, the paralysis of the national dialogue, that is a legitimate question. can we all do better? we know that we have said the at our best if we're going to meet the challenges our country faces we knew each u.s.s. to be a best that, of course, is the next level of the title. as i simply camera politicians are politicians and people and washington to better. the answer is self-evident given our circumstance. in each of us do better? that might mean some very simple things in your life. politics today is a battle between two competing efforts, caring collective action associated with democrats in the ethic of responsibility and individual action republicans. that is what campaigns are. already shaping up that this is what is going to be this year. the presidential race about the future and not the past. there is. it is beginning to be that same thing. w

the question about the united states involves how we use the chinese example. something i believe very strongly is that the things that are right about america and wrong about america have almost nothing to do with china. the main connection in my view is that what is most right about america is its ability to contract and exploit an outsized share of talent from around the world. i say i'm glad to have them here and glad to have them trained here because it has a long-term beneficial influence in my view. i think what is good about america is not directly related to china. what is bad about america also in my view is not china's fault at all. it's her own responsibility for how her income is distributed and how our political system works and all the rest. the challenge for us with china is whether for another 20 or 30 years we can manage the same situation we have so far which is to say that we welcome support and can tolerate the emergence of a poor country as it moves up in both economic and diplomatic influence around the world without being directly threat
